Century U.S. History class of
Heppner High School are in
volved in a spring semester
project of writing a history
of Heppner.

pner pioneers.
Students will collect old
photographs and will inter
view with a tape recorder
Heppner old-timers. The pro

them to the HHS History de
partment so that students may
photo copy the pictures and
return them. Utmost caution
will be employed to insure
their safety. Pictures maybe
left at the Heppner Gazette

ject include Mary Abram,
Katherine Bartlett, ToddCox,
Rick Drake, David Eckmin,

Farmers should consider
constructing needed diver

tance Program of the Agrlcul-
Spring Time
4-H Project
Springs the time when a
youngster with a piece of
land ami a desire to farm
should consider the 4-H field
crops project, says DonStan
gel Extension 4-H agent.
Sec la ligation l.s the future
trend in agriculture, and the
4-H field crop project lsalni
ed In th.it direction.
Whether the land's avail
able through actual owner
ship, partnership, or per
haps, through an agreement
to manage, the 4-H field
crops project can be a young
person's oportuiilty"toca
ltalie on bis effort," the
agent said.
Corn, potatoes, and seed
crops can be raised as cash
crops. Or If the 4-II'er
produces forage for a horse
or other livestock, "the
money saved on feed is the
same as money earned."
Don notes that the 4-H field
crops project is often over
looked - "probably because
young people think a big lay
out of land is necessary."
Actually, as little as an
eighth of an acre will suf
fice for many crops and the
management of this small
piece is often enough to
instill an interest that will
inspire the 4-H'er to become
"tomorrow's successful
grower of specialty crops
mint, sugar beets, dill, seed
crops."
For more about this and
other 4-H projects open to
all young people without
charge, call Morrow County
Extension Service at 676-96-12.
